JAKARTA , Indonesia -LRB- CNN -RRB- -- A U.S. mining company has denied a report by Indonesia 's state media that a convoy of its buses came under fire in the province of Papua Wednesday .

Indonesian soldiers provide security near a PT Freeport-owned gold mine in Timika , Papua province , on July 18 .

The state-run Antara News Agency had said that two people were reportedly killed when a 12-bus convoy carrying employees of PT Freeport was attacked by unidentified gunmen in the country 's eastern-most province .

The company clarified that a vehicle was wrecked in the province , killing one person and wounding several others . When police and mechanics drove to the area to assist , shots were fired at them . Three people were hurt in the shooting , the company said .

`` No shots were fired at the PT-FI bus convoy as earlier reported , '' the company said .

Following the company 's comments , Antara 's Web site changed its report to reflect the new information .

PT Freeport is the largest copper and gold mining company in the province .

Attacks directed at the company killed an Australian mine technician and two Indonesians on July 11 and 12 .

And two directors of the company were wounded Friday in a twin attack at the Ritz Carlton and JW Marriott hotels in the capital Jakarta .

Papua residents have long resented the presence of PT Freeport in the province . They have criticized the environmental impact of the mining operations and the small share of revenues the province receives .

In 2008 , a separatist group claimed responsibility for a series of bomb attacks in the area . No one died in the attacks , Antara said .

In 2002 , two American teachers and an Indonesian colleague who worked at the mine were shot dead in an attack , the news agency said .

Meanwhile , authorities on Wednesday released sketches of two men believed to have carried out the bombings at the luxury hotels in Jakarta .

One was about 40 ; the other 17 , officials said . Analysis of their DNA matched those obtained from a homemade explosive found in a room at the Marriott where they had checked in , police said .

But authorities still do not know their identities .
